Seeing as I don't work for MPC I can't answer your question. However I doubt anyone else will be able to either. This kind of question would be best directed at the person who preformed the test and wrote the article. Unfortunately they rarely have time to check into the forums and answer questions. So perhaps an email to them would yield better results.

1. Where are the temperatures measured?It depends. If you believe the internal temperature sensor and the software used to read it, that's usually as close as you can get it. Otherwise, sticking a probe in with the heat sink would be the only other option. Although this may hamper results because the CPU loses some contact with the heat sink.

2. What is burn - ambient?A burn in is running a program, like Prime95, that'll keep the CPU at 100% utilization. The CPU gets hotter when it's in use more.
